Parts of the national capital saw a shift in weather conditions, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to upgrade alerts from green to orange and yellow. Initially, no warnings were issued for the day.

However, as skies darkened and rain fell, some areas received an orange alert, signaling 'be prepared,' while others were given a yellow alert, meaning 'be aware,' according to IMD's color-coded system.

By 5:30 pm, 12.9 mm of rainfall was recorded at Delhi's primary weather station, Safdarjung. Despite the changes, the weekend forecast predicts a return to the green zone, suggesting no forthcoming weather warnings for Delhi.
